That's what hurts us sometimes when we are just being truthful and honest when we filled out the form but factors that are out of our control are messing up our plans and dreams. Your husband can easily have said No to the question since his NBI remark says no derogatory record and that probably speed up his SOWP or PR application but we never know if IRCC may ask for another NBI Clearance and it may happen that the case may reflect on his NBI the next time he gets a clearance.Thanks for your reply.It has a case no and he went through a hearing.But his nbi says no derogatory record bec it was dismissed 2005.However since i declared it CIC os asking for court documents and police blotter which I had a hard time securing for one.The police station and trial court cant issue a copy of the blotter and resolution of the case respectively because they doNt have it on the computer yet.They said the blotter is written in a record book which is really hard to retrieve dahil napailaliman na sa mga files same as the resolution.Im not sure if they're just too lazy to retrieve or they need "padulas/lagay" before they dig in to the files...and we're in the province and its really hard to process things in manila bec of the restrictions in place right now.
